Answer: Please be informed that we have implemented a universal item for you to enter the special locations – Skeleton Key.

They can be found in any location or a mini-game.

Question: What is the difference between Energy and Strength?

Answer: Energy and Strength are two different values in the game. You use Energy to explore locations and Strength is required for performing actions in your Friend's game.
To restore energy you can use Red Apple, Orange Juice, Croissant, Energy Drink, Electrum Cocktail and Rabbit Foot. And, when you use Elixirs - you restore Strength.

Question: What is the Great Talisman of Truth, how can I have one?

Answer: The Great Talisman of Truth is an item which you can get if you enter the game every day during 25 days in a row. Please keep in mind that every 5 days you get a part of the talisman - the Chain, the Crystal, the Wings, etc. Please ensure that you visit the game within 24 hours in order to get one of the components.
In case you don’t visit the game on one of these 25 days, you start collecting the Great Talisman of Truth from the very beginning. Pay your attention that in case of missing some days you can restore them for 5 rubies. Once the Talisman is combined, you can use it for 10 days.
